1. Product description

The

DÜRKOPP ADLER 69

is an all-purpose special sewing machine.

•

Double-lockstitch free-arm machine with underfeed, needle feed and alternating

foot overfeed.

•

Depending on the subclass, a single-needle machine with or without thread clipper

beneath the needle plate.

•

Slim free arm with large passage space and large sewing-foot stroke.

Maximum passage space beneath raised sewing feet: 12 mm (with

sewing-foot-raising knee lever).

•

Small horizontal shuttle.

•

The sewing machine can be supplied with a closed, cut-out or fold-down left-hand

table-plate half. The fold-down version permits the unobstructed manipulation of

large items round the free arm.

•

Smooth, draw-free edging and precision sewing of inner and outer arcs by an

integral follow binder mechanism.

•

Knee-operated pneumatic rapid stroke-adjustment mechanism to switch the foot

overfeed to maximum sewing-foot stroke (optional extra).

2. Designated use

The

69

is a special sewing machine designed to be used to sew light to medium-heavy

materials. As a rule such material consists of textile or synthetic fibres, but it also

includes leather.

These materials are used in the clothing, footwear and leatherwear industries, as well

as in domestic and automobile upholstery.

This special sewing machine can also be used to execute so-called technical seams.

However, the operator must carry out an assessment of the possible dangers (with

which

DÜRKOPP ADLER AG

would be happy to assist), as such applications are

comparatively unusual and they are potentially of enormous diversity. Depending on the

outcome of this assessment it may be necessary to take special safety precautions.

Generally speaking material processed with this special sewing machine must be dry,

its thickness when compressed by the lowered sewing feet must not exceed 7 mm and

it must contain no hard objects, since otherwise the operator of the machine would have

to wear protective goggles (which cannot at present be supplied).

The seam is generally executed with textile-fibre sewing threads up to 30/3 NeB (cotton

yarns), 40/3 Nm (synthetic yarns) or 30/3 Nm (covering yarns) in size. The use of any

other threads must also be subject to an assessment of the risks involved and the

taking of any necessary safety precautions.

The premises in which this special sewing machine is set up and operated must be dry

and well-maintained. If it is to be used in premises which are not dry and

well-maintained, special precautions may be necessary: these must be the subject of

an agreement (see EN 60204-3-1:1990).

As manufacturers of industrial sewing machines we work on the assumption that

personnel working on our machines will be at least semi-skilled, so that they can be

presumed to be familiar with all normal operations and with the dangers inherent in

them.

5.3 Adjusting the needle-thread tension

Pre-tensioning mechanism (subclass 69-FA-373)

On subclass

69-FA-373

the needle thread needs to be under residual tension for the

thread cutter to function reliably when the main tensioner 2 is open.

This residual tension is created by the pre-tensioning mechanism 1.

The pre-tensioning mechanism 1 also determines the length of the needle-thread end

after the thread has been clipped.

The pre-tension 1 should be set lower than the main tension 2.

–

Adjust pre-tensioning mechanism 1 by turning the knurled nut.

–

After major changes to preliminary tension 1 the main tension 2 should also be

adjusted accordingly.

Main tension

The main tension 2 should be set as low as possible.

The looping of the threads must be in the centre of the material (see fig. a).

With thin material excessive thread tension can cause unwanted gathering and thread

breakage.

–

Adjust the main tensioner 2 so that the stitches are uniform.

5.4 Opening the needle-thread tensioner

Automatic

The main tensioner 2 is opened automatically:

–

when the thread is severed (subclass

69-FA-373

).

–

when the foot is raised (pedal 1 position backwards)

Manual

The main tensioner 2 is opened manually:

–

when the release lever 3 is pressed towards the arm.

The main tensioner 2 remains open for as long as pressure is maintained on the

release lever 3.

–

when the sewing feet are raised mechanically with the knee lever (see chapter 5.9).

–

when the sewing feet are locked in the raised position (see chapter 5.10).
